Recently we had the opportunity to sample a new fruit snack from Stretch Island Fruit Company: FruitaBu Organic Fruit Sploooshers. They provide a full serving of fruit in a squeezy tube, like Go-Gurt.
We sampled the strawberry flavor, and I threw them in the fridge for a few hours before we tried them. You can eat them at room temperature, but I think they’re probably better cold. You could even freeze them, I suppose! Oh, and by the way – just a note to companies in search of product reviews: I have five children. Please send enough samples so that everybody gets one, otherwise…oh honey. It just gets crazy up in here. Anyway.
These are really good. The fruit is thick and…fruity. I thought it would be like applesauce, but it’s much thicker than that. It’s not artificially sweetened, and it’s made with over 90% real organic fruit and fruit juice. I have no idea what the other 10% is, because we already threw away the (three) empty tubes we received. I can only assume the other ingredients are Magic and Sunshine and Happiness, because these are the bomb.
You can find Fruit Sploooshers in your grocery store or natural foods store in the fruit snack aisle, and they retail for $3.79 – $3.99 for a package of five. (Five, as in, the number of children who live in this house.) Check ‘em out – my kids really liked them, and they aren’t overly sticky like some “fruit” snacks. They’d be perfect for picnics, lunchboxes, and whatever really! Good stuff.

We’ve tried their “fruit leather” version – and let me tell you – with 4 kids in the house, it doesn’t matter that there are 8 in a box – it doesn’t matter – they would eat the entire box by themselves if you let them. My only concern is that they do have a lot of sugar – so I have to hide them from my dabetic hubby!
